Stratasys has a market cap of $1.29 billion and is part of the
technology sector. The company has a P/E ratio of 67.8, equal to the average computer hardware industry P/E ratio and above the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Shares are up 94.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. Currently there are two analysts that rate Stratasys a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and three rate it a hold.

TheStreet Ratings rates Stratasys as a
buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.
